From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9)
Gecko/20010505
BuildID: {2001050515}
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two pages (whatever.html and test.js)
2. write some javascript in the .js file and write this piece of javascript
code in whatever.html
var o = new XMLHttpRequest();
o.open("GET","http://localhost/test.js", false);
o.send(null);
alert(o.responseText);
3. view the page whatever.html
Actual Results: it freezes at send()...
if I try to do it asynchronously instead, then the onload event never triggers
Expected Results: a popup box with the contents of test.js....
If I do the same thing in the javascript console, then mozilla will terminate
when I try to close the console... null pointer exception somehow...
The instruction on "0x60098bac" referred to memory "0x00000000". The memory
could not be "read"..

Onload not firing is bug 49949.
As I understand it from other comments Heikki has made, sync loading isn't
working currently. Bug 57673 will do as a dupe.
